Boiler Room Lecture: Céline Condorelli

The Artist As

Monash University Museum of Art (MUMA) in association with the Institute of Modern Art (IMA), Brisbane and Curatorial Practice at Monash Art Design and Architecture (MADA) are pleased to present a special illustrated lecture by visiting international artist, Céline Condorelli. Condorelli's work is fundamentally informed by architecture, a discipline in which the artist holds numerous degrees, including a PhD from Goldsmiths College, London. Her broad practice often merges ideas of exhibition, politics, public space, fiction, discussion and installation across a variety of projects. Throughout the artist's work there is an overarching interest in the nature of ‘support' or ‘supporting'.

Condorelli's lecture is part of The Artist As... - a year-long lecture series co-presented by the IMA and Curatorial Practice at MADA. The series examines the ways artists move through the world, and how that movement might involve adopting other roles to pursue a project, a position, a politics, or a practice. For any given project the artist may act as architect, as ethnographer, as archivist, as producer, as curator, as activist, as choreographer, and so on. The Artist As... also recognises that many artists come to their practice as experts in other fields, bringing with them specialist knowledge that informs and shapes their work.

Following the lecture Tara McDowell, Associate Professor and Director of Curatorial Practice at Monash University, will convene a Q&A session.
